Aston Villa's first game of its Premier League farewell tour fell right in line with the path of its season, clearly outplayed and overwhelmed, in a 4-2 loss to Southampton.

The loss is Villa's 10th Premier League defeat in a row, although the two-goal output was the club's best since its last win: a 2-0 victory against Norwich City on February 6. The only bright spot was Ashley Westwood scoring his first goals of the season, only his fourth and fifth of his Premier League career. The central midfielder found himself in the right spot on two occasions, capitalizing on a scramble in the box just before half-time while putting pressure on Saints with five minutes left to cut the lead to one from nearly the same spot in the box.

Ashley Westwood has emerged as an early for the visit of Manchester City this weekend after a head injury forced the Villa midfielder off midway through the first half of Mondays’ game at White Hart Lane.

Westwood was visibly dazed after he was caught by Mousa Dembele. The Tottenham player was looking to protect the ball as Westwood challenged from behind and caught the 25-year-old flush on the head with his elbow. After several minutes, Westwood was led from the field of play as a precaution with suspected mild concussion and blurred vision. Caretaker manager Kevin MacDonald also confirmed that Gabby Agbonlahor is almost certain to miss Remi Garde’s first game in charge. The speedy attacker was forced off during the break because of a persistent calf problem which has hampered his involvement for the past 6-7 weeks. Tue, Nov 3, 2015 06:15:00 AM

Westwood has committed his future to Aston Villa and is excited to continue his time at the club. Despite the trust of confidence from Villa, Westwood is not a great fantasy option. He has only three goals and ten assists in 93 matches for the club and it's hard to justify owning him in formats that don't reward points for defensive stats such as tackles and passes intercepted.

Westwood has not been good under Tim Sherwood and is droppable in all leagues at this time regardless of injury status. He doesn't seem like he'll be a fantasy option for the rest of the season and managers should part ways as soon as possible. There is no word on how long he'll miss due to the injury.
